Background: This study aimed to use anthropometric measurements taken pre- and post-operation to evaluate quantitative assessment of modified Millard technique compared with Tennison-Randall technique in unilateral cleft lip (UCL) repair.
Materials And Methods: Prospective randomised controlled study recruited infants scheduled for UCL repair. Infants aged 2-6 months, either complete or incomplete deformity. A total of 68 patients were randomised in 1:1 ratio to undergo either modified Millard technique (Group I) or Tennison-Randall technique (Group II).
Results: Group I had significantly longer operative time than Group II (85.7 ± 7.4 vs. 68.7 ± 8.8 min, respectively; P < 0.001). Group I has less post-operative wound infection, wound dehiscence and wound scarring than Group II, but Group II has less post-operative lip notch. In Group I, greater increases in post-operative horizontal lip length and vertical lip height were observed, compared to Group II, without statistically significant difference. Group I showed a greater reduction in nasal width and total nasal width than Group II, without statistically significance. Group II had a greater increase in philtral height. However, only post-operative Cupid's-bow width was significantly different between two groups (P = 0.041).
Conclusion: Overall results demonstrate no significant differences between modified Millard technique and Tennison-Randall technique.

Background And Objectives: Studies measuring the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in therapeutic decision-making are rare in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). This study aimed to measure the association between MRI utilization and disease-modifying therapy (DMT) switches in pwMS.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study identified pwMS in 2018 from a de-identified national claims database.
Efficient numerical approaches with accelerated graphics processing unit (GPU) computations for Poisson problems and Cahn-Hilliard equations.

In this computational paper, we focused on the efficient numerical implementation of semi-implicit methods for models in materials science. In particular, we were interested in a class of nonlinear higher-order parabolic partial differential equations. The Cahn-Hilliard (CH) equation was chosen as a benchmark problem for our proposed methods.

The traditional stir-fry process before pressing is crucial to manufacture Hainan camellia oil. To assess the effects of the stir-fry process on Hainan camellia oil, six samples across different stir-fry stages were analyzed. The stir-fry process modified odors, volatile metabolite profiles, and human health-promoting functions of Hainan camellia oil.

Background: Interventions are required that address delays in treatment-seeking and low treatment coverage among people consuming methamphetamine.
Objective: We aim to determine whether a self-administered smartphone-based intervention, the "S-Check app" can increase help-seeking and motivation to change methamphetamine use, and determine factors associated with app engagement.
Methods: This study is a randomized, 28-day waitlist-controlled trial.
Evaluation of Vermillion Symmetry and Scar Quality in Unilateral Cleft Lip Repair Using Modified Millard's Technique Versus Fisher's Technique.

Background: Since the primary goal of cleft lip repair is to achieve a symmetrical, aesthetic lip, several surgical techniques have been utilized. Accordingly, in this study, a unilateral cleft lip was surgically repaired using two techniques: modified Millard's and Fisher's techniques.
Purpose: This study was designed to compare the vermillion symmetry and scar quality in the surgical management of patients with unilateral incomplete cleft lip using the modified Millard's and Fisher's techniques.
